Micro-D Connectors
Omnetics' Micro-D products have been engineered and tested to meet or exceed the demanding qualification requirements of essential industry standards and specifications, including MILDTL-83513. Their Micro-D subminiature connectors are QPL qualified and designed and manufactured to meet and exceed MIL-DTL-83513. The connector assembly is built to assure the highest performance through high shock and vibration applications as well as extreme environmental use. The microminiature connectors are available in both QPL and non-QPL versions and feature densely arrayed contacts with centerlines of .050"(1.27 mm). Omnetics' stringent inspection protocols ensure exceptional performance and conformity to all relevant requirements to support mission-critical applications.- Sizes 9, 15, 21, 25, 31, 37 , 51 are available with two contact rows.

Omnetics Micro-D Connectors are ideal for critical, high reliability industries, including aerospace, military, and medical. They are also used in devices such as: optics, guidance systems, on-board equipment, space and UAV systems. They are built to meet or exceed the specifications of MIL-DTL-83513. Highly rugged and compact designs in shell styles from 9 to 51 contacts. The Micro-D connectors incorporate Omnetics one-piece flex pin design for greater shock and vibration resistance. The high reliability gold plated flex pin is designed for >2,000 mating cycles. Omnetics Micro-D connectors will operate from -55oC to 125oC.
The Flex Pin Design - Designed Simply for High Shock & Vibration
Omnetics' Flex Pin contact design is a wonderfully engineered piece, designed and produced many years before the creation of MIL-DTL-83513. This simple one piece design is stamped from Beryllium Copper per ASTM B488. The spring characteristic of BeCu is ideal for withstanding high shock and vibration situations. The Flex Pin contact is inter-mateable with all MIL- DTL- 83513 sockets. Its rugged design easily passes the shock and vibration requirements of the military specifications. In fact, independent tests have proved that the Flex Pin contact can even withstankd the intense shock and vibrations of the geophysical drilling market.
Flex Pin contacts are all plated with 50 micro inches (1.27 μm) of gold over 50 micro inches (l .27 μm) of nickel. All pins are plated post forming to insure a non-porous surface.
The Flex Pin - Superior one-piece design
The Omnetics nano Flex Pin has been in successful production for over 25 years, while its young counterpart the nano twist pin is relatively new. Nano twist pin manufacturers took an old standard and shrunk it down to nano size. Omnetics on the other hand looked at the old technology and found ways to improve and simplify the design. Omnetics removed the extra crimps and welds and came up with an elegant one piece design with the same performance as the overly complex twist pin. The elimination of extra joints removed resistance points as well as spots for potential fatigue and failure.
Micro Flex Pins are rated at 3 amps each and are the foundation of our Micro-D & MIL-DTL-83513 series of connectors.
